In questa chiave, anche molte ideologie del passato non appaiono più così irragionevoli, se paragonate al nostro presente. Conoscere la molteplicità delle traiettorie e delle biforcazioni della storia può infatti aiutarci a interrogare le fondamenta delle nostre istituzioni e a intuire le loro trasformazioni.

Unser Wohlstand ist in Gefahr und Ihr Vermögen wird durch Inflation, Steuern und fragwürdige politische Entscheidungen angegriffen.
